douchey-ist bass face?

We were playing on one of the nicest stages so the guitarist's wife wanted to get lots of pictures. She's a professional videographer so she had an excuse. But I was getting annoyed with her distracting me so i made a douchey bass face to try to ruin her picture.

Naturally, they all loved it and wanted that to be my official publicity photo. View attachment 2875445

I've never understood why so many bass players feel the need to look like they are messing their drawers while playing. I know you have to "act" a little for the crowd, but come on.
And yes, the bassist from Haim is one of the most chronic offenders. She does it all the time (late night shows love Haim for some reason) and she isn't even laying down anything particularly good.
 
He's got a great band...I have to go every year with the wife. I like how he talks pretty normal, little southern twang...and at concerts his speaking voice morphs into Blind Mellon Chitlin's...THAT'S douchie

That's actually a defense mechanism...when a southern guy drops into DEEP SOUTH,
he's usually nervous as heck about something. A little Stage Fright, mebbe...

Or about to pull an Epic Prank on a Yankee...the deeper the Drawl, the deeper the BS ;)
